And that's how (most) officials first used it.

But, (most) coaches used it to describe (only) the "pick up the dribble in the air and land on two feet" move.

So, now it's used for both. Explicitly in NCAA; implicitly in FED.

More descriptive and removing the confusion would be two different names:

Jump-Catch Stop (pivot allowed)

Catch-Jump Stop (pivot not allowed)
